The flashing lights are probably what caused the accident in the first place.

Actually the “flashing lights” are what cause most of these accidents. People are so busy trying to see what is going on that they do not realize they are drifting into the other or break-down lane.

Let's see. Some drivers deliberately try to see what's going on because of the flashing lights. In doing so, they irresponsibly drift into the breakdown lane and strike the cars on the side of the road. And you think the "lights" are to blame. Question: Have you ever taken responsibility for anything?

This certainly is a strange phenomena. I myself have had to pay strict attention to parked cars on the highway as I'm usually following the car in front of me. Sure seems easy for someone to get fooled.

The point dipsh*t, is that people are so busy staring at the accident that they do not realize they are drifting. Now let's see, "they were so busy staring...they drifted", whose fault does that sound like. Some people do not realize that when you direct your attention toward an object you have the tendancy to head toward that object.

So who are you blaming? The lights or the people staring? Idiot.

I think that is pretty clear dipsh*t, if you can not figure it out I would say that you are the idiot here. Go find someone else to bicker with. NO NEED for you here.

Your post seems to imply that you're blaming the lights. That makes you an irresponsible moron.

The point is cause and effect dunce. I clearly explain what I mean. But, you are so thick as a brick that your only wish is to bicker. As I said No Need. Perhaps you can find a like minded box of rocks to "discuss" it with. Tchao!

The "cause" being the lights, and not the idiot driver? Also, your posts are anything by clear.

Have you ever read a good date on an article? I wonder why they put the date on. Maybe so someone will realize it's OLD NEWS? In this case, you don't even need thenumeric date, that was LAST MONTH.

I know this trooper as well
Doesn't really matter if he has been on a year or not. He was sitting behind an accident scene when his cruiser was demolished.
